Sony WF-C700N
The WF-C700 produce terrific sound and noise cancellation for the price. Call quality has been improved and changes to the design give these buds a clean, minimalist look that mirrors the over-ear WH-1000XM5. There are some popular features missing, but most of Sony’s top performers (3D audio, ANC) are accounted for.
For
- Vibrant, detailed sound
- Superb noise cancellation and call quality
- Comes with most signature Sony features
- Very attractive design
- Optimal comfort and fit
Against
- No aptX or LDAC support
- Missing some nice-to-have features
Sony WF-C500
Backed by Sony’s signature bass profile and the Headphones Connect app, the WF-C500 stand out as an inexpensive, sonically-fulfilling alternative to the brand’s premium earbuds and rivals like the AirPods Pro. The charging case disappoints with only two additional charges, but each one gets you 10 hours of listening time.
For
- Powerful bass
- 360 Reality Audio and DSEE support
- Lengthy playback time
- Works with Sony Headphones Connect app
- Strong connectivity
Against
- Lacks some features found on Sony's upmarket models
- Charging case only holds two additional full charges
